Sure I took a shot at VK. His post reflects on the VK. I stopped going years ago after reading some of the posts. I very much doubt I am the only one who has done that. He surely has every right in the world to say whatever he wants but he also has to understand that when a business does that there can never be a win win for his business.
Bill, I agree with you on the vaccine, and I'm surprised that any informed person would not want it. I spent 4 hours securing my appointment, and it's a huge relief to know that I no longer have to worry about getting sick or infecting my vaccinated parents.

But I think we would all be happier if we keep some words of Pete Buttigieg in mind. When the gay presidential candidate was asked what he thought of Chik-Fil-A, a staunchly anti-gay company, he replied "I am definitely not in favor of their politics...but I kind of am in favor of their chicken."

If I owned a retail business with a display window, I wouldn't put a "Have a nice day" sign on display.

In today's polarized society, it's going to piss-off someone.

The sky is blue....No it's not, it just appears that way. It's really clear air that appears blue...

Take it from there..

Wait.....HOLD ON..... back up the turnip truck, just being a business owner is highly offensive.

Now that we have that cleared up, we can move on to the proposed polarizing and equally offensive "Have a nice day" sign.

You are right in quoting Buttogieg yet I find it hard to believe he would really patronize the place unless he was a politician looking for votes.

For me personally, I think it makes sense to vote etc., with my wallet.

Appreciate your words and have always found your post cogent, thoughtful and respectful.
